Burnley (A) Post Match Thread

But we were 12 ahead with 14 to play last weekend, though. So we are 1 pt better off than last weekend with 2 games fewer to play.

Didn't see it that way

It is still very clear progress 2 games closer to the title. That's the glass half full version which is surely the way to go here!

Whilst Kompany was not as bad as some make out and with Laporte so new and Stones unable to play it was not really an option to leave him out.

But what was important was that Burnley targetted him and tried to play on his fragility and I think that was a factor in them going at us late on every bit as much as us not killing the game was.

I think Pep is as tired as the players after so many mentally demanding games and made uncharacteristic errors himself today - such as not leaving Sterling on given how many late goals he has got for us and the special reason to want one today and not bringing Laporte on for Kompany with 20 minutes to go.

So his decision to shut up the club and all take several days off now is very wise. He has a few days to get them fired up for Leicester and Basel in another two tough games in what will be many for the next couple of months.

Hopefully the medical department isn’t going on holiday!

Yes it is ours to throw away.

The worrying thing today was that we looked anything but a league winning team against a bunch of journeymen.

Let's hope the rest does us good and David is available for our next game.

This season, Sterling has a better conversion ratio than Aguero and Jesus, who all have better conversion ratios than Harry Kane.

People have been waiting to jump on him, mate, totally ignorant to what he brings!!

Define “take ons “ he had one positive run into the box that led to a goalkick and any other “take ons” were followed by a backwards pass.

"Taking on the opposition player nearest to him." He looked more positive in this respect that Silva and Sterling.
